At Island Water Sports, surfing is not just our business, it’s our blood. We are owned and operated by second and third-generation surfers and skateboarders. Kirk Cottrell opened the shop in 1978. His son, Cheyne, took his first steps as a child inside the store, and now, Cheyne oversees the operation with the help of his mom, sisters, and close family friends. Many of our staff members are also top-rated amateur and professional surfers, which ensures that we have the most up-to-date product knowledge and experience!

We have the most comprehensive selection of products in South Florida, for all varieties of action sports. We have dedicated our lives not just to surfing and skateboarding, but to saving the local and traveling surfer and skateboarders. We are always ready and willing to offer advice on products or just swap stories after a session.
